SWEET LILIES for a Greeting, 

Set with rows of pearly bells, 
Gently wafting thee sweet music ; 
Blooming among shady dells. 

Fragrant flowers of LI is planting : 
Nurtured by His tender care ; 
Sent as cheering wayside teachers, 
Sent in lore — these blossoms fair. 

Cherish, then, the snowy floiurets, 
Cherish them, and may you find 
Many blessings in their purity — 
Faith, hope and cheer combiu'd.

Do noble things, not dream them, all day long ; 

And so make life, death, and that vast forever. 
One grand, sweet song.
